I totally missed that cond* has been added!  Is there any interest in
adding the package to ELPA?

There is no need -- it is part of core Emacs.
It needs to be there so that any part of Emacs can use it.

The question was not "should we move cond* from the core to ELPA", but
should cond* be made available via ELPA as a core package (just like
xref, project, eglot, ...) so that older releases of Emacs can use it as
well.  From what I see, the code should run fine with Emacs 24.1, so it
shouldn't take much effort, and more packages could utilise the macro.

The question actually asked was nether of those, but simply, "Is there
any interest in adding the package to ELPA?"  Those words are not very
clear.

I think your suggestion is a good one.

Sorry about that.

OK, I'll push a few changes to cond-star.el to make it a package.
Should I ping you before publishing it?
